The MFL MarMac Bulldog boys started their Jan. 24 game against Sumner-Fredericksburg sluggishly, falling behind 6-0 early, but then reeled off a 9-0 run of their own, en route to a 68-60 victory. The Cougars ripped off another 6-0 run before the first quarter ended, but the game was tied at 12, thanks to a Tristen Kautman three.

While the jigs, line, poles and other fishing accessories were added last week and made available for purchase, Hexom was still getting the water tank installed. He said it should be up and running by Wednesday, Jan. 22. (Photo by Audrey Posten)

The riverfront was once again a major topic of discussion at McGregor’s Jan. 15 city council meeting, as the council considered ordinance options that would give the city, and thus the dock commission, the ability to enforce riverfront lease conditions.
